No, the center of the circulation did not come right over The Villages. It was just to the east of Crystal River and west of The Villages. This is actually tracked accurately because the NCEP accumulates forecasted path error statistics for the NWP models. Again, it really doesn't matter that much as the circulation was large and the intensity had dropped significantly.
